LMFAO the Windies are am absolute clown show.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

My 2 bob's worth:

England slight favourites with a helluva batting line up, just shading Australia who have the best attack and India who will miss Bumrah big time.

After that South Africa and Pakistan look dangerous, the kiwis are always up for the fight in world cups too.

My Tip: South Africa to win it

 

[King-Gutho94]

I hope the mighty minnow of Namibia get through the 2nd stage for a 2nd consecutive T20WC.

Always played as them as the minnow when I wasn't Australia on the old Cricket 04 and 05 on the PS2 growing up

So have a soft spot for them.

The more competitive these nations can get in this format the better for cricket.

Off to a flying start The Namibians

Aust v India warm up game on fox 502 from 2.50pm
Since this isnt an official t20, will we see 15 players from each side either get a bat or bowl ?

South Africa are perennial chokers.
